Is Aspirin needed also?

My doc prescribed Lovenox as soon as we got prego but said to then stop the Aspirin. I was on it the last couple months of trying to conceive. Are you ladies on Lovenox and aspirin or have you stopped the aspirin when prego and on Lovenox?

Tiffany-From what I have seen most of the moms with genetic clotting issues (MTHFR, Prothrombin G, FVL, etc.) are told to stop the aspirin. The moms who have autoimmune issues (APS) are usually told to continue it. I think there is something about the aspirin that helps with the APS. I'm not an expert but that's the trend I have seen.

I am on both baby aspirin and heparin. I was told to take a baby aspirin daily for the rest of my life. (With the exception of stopping the aspirin two weeks before the scheduled eviction). Originally, only my FVL was diagnosed and I was told to do aspirin only, without the heparin. But due to recurrent pregnancy loss and some possible automimmune issues that did not show up in any testing, my RE wanted me on aspirin no matter what. I started the heparin at 19 weeks pg once the peri discovered the MTHFR gene as well. She wants me on both the aspirin and heparin. I don't know if my peri even knows that I may have possible autoimmune issues -since all tests were fine. However, I had autoimmune issues as a child.

It's my understanding that the aspirin and heparin work in different ways.

HOMO MTHFR here and I have been on (1) 81 mg Baby Aspirin a day with Lovenox 40 MG/1 X/Day. Almost 24 weeks preggers and protocol seems to be working. 4 total losses, 2 live children, 7th pregnancy, 1st pregnancy with MTHFR treatment.

My hematologist says she doesn't think it's necessary unless you have something like lupus anticoagulant disorder. I'm MTHFR/Protien S deficient & PAI 4g5g and she took me off it. She said if I really wanted to take it too that even once a week is all you need since it takes 7 days to make a platelet. Not an expert either.. just passing on her outlook :)
